How do I
create a new Public Folder Tree in
Exchange Server 2003?
When you
first install Exchange Server 2003, you
have a default Public Folders store that
is connected to a default Public Folder
hierarchy. However, you might want to
create your own separate Public Folder
Tree for certain uses, such as a store
for Internet newsgroups or for company
specific tasks.
Note: To create
new PF Trees on Exchange Server 2000 see
Create new PF Tree on Exchange 2000.
Creating a
new Public Folder Tree requires three
steps:
Creating a new
public folder tree
-
Start
the Exchange System Manager.
-
Go to
the Folders branch.
-
Right-click the Folders, and select
New, Public Folder Tree.
-
Enter
a name for the public folder root
(e.g., New PF Tree).
-
Click
OK.
Creating the new
public folder store
-
Start
the Exchange System Manager.
-
Expand
the Servers, Server name, First
Storage Group.
-
Right-click the First Storage Group
(or another storage group if you
have one) and select New, Public
Store.
-
On the
General tab, enter a name. This name
should match the public folder root,
so, in our example you'd enter New
PF Store. Under "Associate public
folder tree," click Browse, and
select the folder you created.
-
Click
OK.
-
On the
Database tab, the system creates
default names based on the name you
entered, so you can leave these. All
other tabs are optional.
-
Click
OK.
-
The
system will display a dialog box to
confirm the creation and ask whether
you want to mount the new store
(mounting makes it usable).
-
Click
Yes.
-
Click
OK to the mount confirmation.
